Quick answer
"Australian-owned" describes who owns the business, not where a product is made. "Made in Australia" means the product was substantially transformed in Australia, and "Product of Australia" or "Grown in Australia" means all significant ingredients are Australian and the processing happened here. These rules are set by Australian Consumer Law and enforced by the ACCC.
